BEinGRID

The main objective of the Business Experiments in Grid (BEinGRID) project is to foster the adoption of the so-called Next Generation Grid technologies by the realization of several business experiments and the creation of a toolset repository of Grid middleware upper layers. BEinGRID will undertake a series of targeted business experiment pilots designed to implement and deploy Grid solutions in a broad spectrum of European business sectors (entertainment, financial, industrial, chemistry, gaming, retail, textile, etc). Eighteen business experiments are planned in the initial stage of the project with a second open call for proposals in the latter stages. Secondly, a toolset repository of Grid service components and best practise will be created to support European businesses that wish to take-up the Grid. To minimise redevelopment of components, BEinGRID will deploy innovative Grid solutions using existing Grid components from across the European Union and beyond.
